Last season Oklahoma killed our playoff dreams

Is time for revenge or for a repeat?

Sure is, but this team hasn't convinced me they have the intestinal fortitude to present that effort. What I do expect is 2-3 good quarters of play.

Jokic played just 6 minutes in 1st quarter because of two fouls.

Instead of playing the whole 2nd quarter, he was benched 3 minutes. In that 3 minutes Denver +/- was -9, in 9 minutes he played in 2nd quarter Nuggets +/- was +13. In the middle of the 2nd we have such momentum and 47-40 lead, but then Malone benched Jokic and Oklahoma has fast 0-10 run. Why is Malone doing the same mistakes again and again?

Malone needs to be fired. You can find better coaches in the Serbian amateur league. This is getting ridiculous.

GREAT WIN !!! Westbrook is losing his voodoo over us ! Really seems like Millsap and Jokic are finding a bit of mojo again, GHarris is back next game but is a a bit too little too late ??

Yes! Sweet revenge!

Once again this month we have our "The Twilight Zone" moment (3-15 at the start of 4th) but we survive somehow and won in OT.

Not too late... 46 wins should be enough by the latest projections which mean we can even lose one of last 6 games. If we win our next 3 home matches... we are definitely back in the race.

I will never understand that home crowd reaction. What the hell were they celebrating?

Anyway, interesting game tonight, there is still hope for the playoffs.

Three good quarters, followed by one bad quarter. Fortunately it was enough for overtime and I am very glad we won.

I'm not going to do any further analysis of this game simply because the Nuggets played the same way they've been playing for too long now.

There was a ton of OKC fans there.

fun game, anybody happy to hear that Murray reportedly got into Chandler's face last night about not closing out?

Nuggets made fans happy, finally. Millsap was awesome. Must say I really liked Harris in this game, pretty good game for him. Jokič had some great moments, some bad moments, but I'd love to see statistics of Thunder's player shooting against him. Seemed to me it was under 40%FG. He showed defender doesn't have to block eight shots to impact defense in the paint.

Jokic limited Adams on the offensive boards and overall outplayed him again. I don't think that's even math up because Jokic is much better player than Adams.

What game were you watching, OKC has so many 2nd chance points it was worrisome to say the least. Not just blaming Jokic, that seemed to be a team effort :banghead:

Didn't hear about it yet, but I certainly hope some did. I've always believed Murray could become the vocal leader and maybe, just maybe he's becoming that player. Jokic & G.Harris are probably never going to be "that guy" - Jokic maybe a little, but not totally. I'll bet when G.Harris does speak out, people will listen though.

Hastings mentioned that Murray was in Chandler's face as they were going to break late when the Thunder were on their run, I doubt it makes the papers, but I like the fire that Murray has and agree that he could be a good leader in the future.

I don't always have the sound on when I watch the games. I get tired of the excessive homerism.

Glad ti hear Murray stepping up to be a more voacal leader, guess we're not the only ones who are tired of Chandler's slacking

Jokic had 16 rebounds in the game , its not his fault that the rest of his teammates can't rebound the ball , as I said he outplayed Adams , Adams can't hang in with Jokic, he's too skilled for him.
